When talking to Mr. Yoshihiro Hosokawa, I often hear the phrase 'the individuality of soil'.

Even with the same Bizen clay, differences in color development and shrinkage rate can be seen in the finished pieces.

The artwork that expresses the 'individuality of soil' in one piece is called natural incorporation.

Artworks made without kneading or filtering clay show various expressions of different types of clay within a single piece.

Amidst the red and white, hints of yellow nuances appear here and there, with occasional cracks caused by small stones.

This piece has a rounded impression due to being placed at the top of the kiln during firing.

The burnt ash on the edges, the reddish-brown color of the straw, and the white and light red of the soil add depth to the work.
